"Mommy, let me tell you a secret!" Justin turned in Edward's arms to look at Daisy who followed behind them; he leaned forward and cupped his little hands around his mouth before shouting, "You know what, mommy? Daddy is not angry with you! He is just pretending to be and he wants you to say nice things to him and be charming!" Though Justin said it was a secret, he didn't even keep his voice down. He practically shouted it out loud. Obviously, he wanted his daddy to hear him.
What did you just say? You little brat! Are you teaming up with your mommy and bullying me now? Great. That's just great. I won't hold you anymore if you're not on my side. Now walk on your own." It seemed that Edward was really angry this time. He put Justin down and then entered the box without looking back at his wife and son again. Both Daisy and Justin didn't see this coming; they froze in bewilderment for a while. A few seconds later, they looked at each other and exchanged confused looks; they both shrugged and smiled. Maybe they were teasing Edward too much, and he really got upset.
"Hey, Edward. Why are you alone? Where are Justin and Daisy? Weren't they with you just now?" asked Rain as he saw Edward push open the door. He looked over Edward's shoulder and tried to find Justin and Daisy. After he was sure that no one was behind Edward, he got confused. Rain gazed at Edward with a frown as if Edward had the answer he wanted written on his face.
"I don't know. Why ask me?" retorted Edward sharply while rolling his eyes at Rain. Edward sat down and looked around the room with a sullen face. When he saw Brian and Belinda were chatting happily with each other, his lips curled into a smirk. Thinking about what Duke would feel when he came in and saw this, Edward thought to himself, 'That Brian has been bothering me for the better part of the night. Now it's your turn to get tortured, dude.
You'd better prepare yourself and enjoy the jealousy and fury that follows, because your wife is not on your side this time. Although it is probably Rachel's fault, women just don't care what's the real cause. After all, Rachel is your ex, and that's enough for Belinda to find you guilty. You're practically asking for it. I pity you. Both Brian and Belinda aren't easy to deal with, especially if they team up to pick on you. You'd better give in and beg for mercy as soon as possible.'
"Damn it! Are you kidding? What do you mean by 'why ask you'? They are your wife and son! Who else am I supposed to ask?" Rain pounded the table and yelled loudly as Edward gave him the cold shoulder. The family seemed happy and sweet just a few minutes ago; Rain wondered what happened and why Edward would put on a long face.
Uncle Rain, was someone forcing himself on you? I could hear your scream from the corridor! You were so loud and it almost made my ears numb." With a sour face, Justin came in and complained, rubbing his ears with his hands, as if he really could hear Rain's loud voice from even outside the club.
Me? Watch what you say, little boy. Now look around, there are only a few of us here. If someone was forcing himself on me, who do you think it would be?" Instead of getting mad, Rain curled his lips into a smirk and bent over in front of Justin. Although he was asking Justin, he deliberately stole a glance at Edward and turned back to Justin with his eyebrows raised. It was obvious that he was implying that if anyone in this room should flirt with him, it would be Edward.
"Rain, you're courting death." Edward narrowed his eyes and squinted at Rain, a hint of dangerous light glowing in his jet-black eyes. He calmly threatened Rain with a sneer and thought to himself, 'Great. Another one picking on me tonight. Am I an easy target here?'
"No, no. I didn't say anything. Just ignore me." Rain could sense the dangerous aura emanating from Edward, and he knew it was not the right time to joke; so he immediately dropped it. However, he looked at Justin, who seemed to be secretly snickering, and asked silently with his puzzled look, 'What's going on here?' Edward and Daisy were lovey-dovey outside the club when Rain showed up with Justin, and Edward seemed happy to see his son. So why would Edward become so gloomy now? Rain felt lucky that he stopped talking just in time and dodged the bullet.
Following behind Justin, Daisy stepped into the room. She looked around and saw Edward. Then she casually walked up to him and sat next to him. Edward, however, was still angry with her; he didn't look at her but slightly moved aside with a snort. It seemed that Edward wanted to keep Daisy at arms length. Seeing his childish move, Daisy was a little surprised; however, she wasn't mad. Instead, she curled her lips into a small smile and said nothing. If Edward wanted to play, then she would play a long. She wondered how long Edward could stay mad at her this time.
What's going on between them? Is everything okay? Brian asked worriedly. Although he was talking with Belinda, he noticed Daisy the moment she came in. Nothing got pass his eyes when it concerned Daisy. He knew how much Daisy and Edward love and care for each other just a few hours ago, Edward was trying every mean to get rid of him so he could have an exclusive date with Daisy. They looked perfectly happy during the dinner. Why did he seemed to be mad at Daisy at this moment? Did something happen? Did I miss something? Brian got nervous all of a sudden.
Relax, don't worry about them. Daisy has the upper hand. She always does. Consider it a little game between husband and wife. Have some confidence in her. She's a Colonel. How could she lead her soldiers and fight her honors if she couldn't even take care of Edward? I'll tell you what. Your brother-in-law can sometimes be unreasonably arrogant, so it's necessary for Daisy to teach him a lesson every now and then.
